Sensor Touch Arduino

Introduction to the Touch Sensor for Arduino

Principle of operation

The capacitive sensor is simply a capacitor that detects when a person press it. He circuit integrated already prepared for arduino has of all the components for a performance right.

Connection of the Joystick

It has five two power and three pins that will be the outputs.

• GND: GND of Arduino.
• + 5V: power, five 5V Arduino.
• VIG: Input digital, 1 if it is pressed and 0 otherwise.

Features of the Touch Sensor

He sensor detects when is you touches with the hand (or any part of the body) usually this sensor detects a certain capacity to the press it our body creates an effect capacitive on Earth enough so the sensor jump to state high.

Programming of the Joystick

Explanation prior

The program is really simple just let an LED lit when you press on the sensor, this device is a button that is only works while pressed as opposed to a switch, which remains in a State.

Code

TOUCH SENSOR BUTTON WITH LED FOR ARDUINO
pinLED int = 13;
int pinTouch = 8;

void setup() {}
 pinMode (pinLED, OUTPUT);
 pinMode (pinTouch, INPUT);
}

void loop() {}
 digitalWrite (pinLED, digitalRead (pinTouch)); 
}

Once programmed we will see how it changes the LED
